GOING: N

COLLINS COURT BUTCHERS PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

JENSVILLE (4) was a beaten favourite last time but was only 4.4m from the winner and enjoys a lower draw this time. Had recorded two wins and two placings from the previous four outings, scoring from a wider draw two back at Gawler. Can take this out. MIKI STEAMED HOME (3) was down the track last time at Stawell but is better suited here with a good record at the circuit and distance including a win three back. Has the benefit of a good draw. Major player. ALWAYS STEAMED UP (1) is on the radar with the aid of the ace draw while VICTORY GEORGE (5) was good last time out when runner-up at Charlton and has won three of five attempts here.
